Boston, MA (May 17, 2017) – ’47, a privately held premium sports lifestyle brand and Nitro Circus, a global leader in action sports and entertainment, are pleased to announce that Nitro Circus x ’47 headwear will be available in select LIDS locations in the U.S. and Canada beginning May 17. Fans can purchase the collection online as well. Eight styles of the iconic ’47 CAPTAIN silhouette will be available in limited quantities and only while supplies last.


“I’m so pumped that our Nitro Circus x ’47 hats will be available at LIDS,” said action sports icon - and Nitro Circus ringleader - Travis Pastrana. “All the Nitro Circus riders have been working directly with the design crew at '47. As the hats have gotten more and more awesome, fans have been relentlessly asking where they can get them. I'm stoked to finally be able to tell them go to LIDS to get the same one as Nitro athletes.”


’47 became the exclusive headwear and apparel partner for Nitro Circus and its athletes in 2016. At inception of the partnership, product was not widely available for consumer purchase.
